Heritage Bantam Thread

[sara213]

I have four Nankin bantam's and I want to add a rooster maybe in the spring time. But, I'm afraid to add a rooster because not supposed to have chickens in the area that I live. However, It is behind a forest reservation trail.

A Nankin's rooster crow can't be any louder then a dogs bark right? My mother in law has a few dogs and they are loud when they bark.

Contact PKPucket on the Middle Tennesee thread. He raises Nankings and could answer that question.

Dose anyone here have Pyncheons? I am trying to find the balance between breeds that need saving, breeds that create profit, and breeds with utility. Some have a combination of two of these features. I figure that I can devote time to a breed that is riding high on popularity (like Cream Legbars for example) and make enough to support a rare breed that isn't peaking in the fads at the moment. I am planning to get some James Marie quail in 2014 and would like some broody banties that can hatch and take care of them. I have been considering Nankings but also heard about the Pyncheons who even have lower numbers as well as a historic significance in U.S. history (Thomas Jefferson raised them).

I'd try sending a PM to these peeps first, have seen them reference Pyncheons...

I certainly hope Old English Game qualify as heritage bantams. Sharing a picture of my Spangled pullet from this past weekend show, she was Reserve of Variety in a class of ~15-16

Anyone out there with some good standard "heritage" bred Mediterranean bantams? Leghorn bantams, Spanish bantams, Andalusian bantams, etc?

Walt Leonard has Wt. Leghorn bantams and I'm sure he knows where some of the other requests could be located too.
